Wavy Haircut with Fringe

Style your hair so that it is wavy with the exception of the front section. Cut this front section into a fringe which reaches your eyebrows and straighten it. If you prefer a bold look let the fringe fall straight, or if you want at a softer look, comb it sideways.

Wavy and Straight Mix

This is the coolest haircut and gives a soft but very stylish look. Straighten sections of your hair and curl other parts. To accentuate the look, add a fringe and to make the hairstyle even more attractive color the straightened part of your hair.

You can create your own variations of wavy hairstyle, and complement it with bangs. It is very important that you get exactly the kind of waves you want, for example, for a tousled look keep the waves long.

For medium wavy hair, maintain short and lesser waves in your hair. For a shaggy, unkempt, but easy to maintain look keep very short waves. Ensure proper hair care and do not brush your wavy haircut as this might lead to an evening out of the waves. Instead use a big-tooth comb to groom your hair or brush your hair with your fingers.

For example, if you like Megan Fox's wavy haircut, get a back and front view picture of her hair to show to the stylist. So, get any of these haircuts and amaze everybody with your new attractive look!
